"A typical contraption of frame that seems like a glass but actually it isn’t made of glass. Clarity bike, a project by Design Affair Studio,
is a mile stone in bike frames engineering and in creating amazing
combination to take the advantage of materials like polymer. By using

material, the bike has got quite gentle flexibility and awesome
lightweight properties."

Akihiko Miyoshi’s series Abstract Photographs
explores the lines between art and technology and more specifically,
photographic representation. Using coloured tape on a mirror and various
props, Miyoshi has created something similar to before-and-after shots,
by focusing on himself, as the photographer, which blurs the tape and
creates a kaleidoscope-like effect, then focusing on the tape to show
the simplicity of his tape work on the mirror.
